[0002] The high-temperature wind tunnel operated by arc heater is an arc-heated wind tunnel. The total operating temperature of the arc heater can reach more than 6000K, and the arc chamber temperature can reach more than 10000K. To obtain the total pressure of the stable section of the high-temperature wind tunnel, there are the following technical difficulties: a.

[0020] The present invention is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0021] Example: Figure 1 As shown, the arc heating wind tunnel stable section total pressure accurate measuring device of this embodiment comprises a cooling pipe 1, a high-voltage insulating hose 2 and a solid-liquid separator 3 which are sequentially connected through a slip-on nut 1-1 and a sealing gasket; the front end of the cooling pipe 1 is installed on the arc heating wind tunnel stable section total pressure measuring port, and the sealing gasket at the front end of the cooling pipe 1 is a copper sealing gasket; the sealing gasket at the rear end of the cooling pipe 1 and the sealing gaskets between the various components of the measuring device are fluororubber sealing gaskets; The cooling tube 1 is used to reduce the temperature of the gas being measured, the high-voltage insulating hose 2 is used to isolate the voltage of the arc heating wind tunnel from hundreds of volts to tens of thousands of volts, and the solid-liquid separator 3 is used to separate impurities in the gas flow being measured.

[0022] Furthermore, if Figure 2a , Figure 2bAs shown, the tube body of the cooling tube 1 includes an inner tube 1-4 and an outer tube 1-5 nested inside and outside, the inner tube 1-4 and the outer tube 1-5 have the same central axis, an isolation gap is set between the inner tube 1-4 and the outer tube 1-5, and the isolation gap forms a cooling water channel; the upper and lower ends of the tube body are respectively fixed with slip-on nuts 1-1, the slip-on nut 1-1 at the upper end is installed on the total pressure measuring port of the stable section of the arc heating wind tunnel, so that the central cavity of the inner tube 1-4 is connected with the stable section of the arc heating wind tunnel, and the slip-on nut 1-1 at the lower end is connected with the high-voltage insulating hose 2 to achieve insulation; a cooling water pipe 1-3 is respectively arranged on the outer tube 1-5 near the slip-on nut 1-1 at the upper and lower sections of the tube body, and the central cavity of the cooling water pipe 1-3 is connected with the cooling water channel; the ends of the cooling water pipe 1-3 are respectively provided with cooling water interfaces 1-2, the cooling water interface 1-2 of the lower section is externally connected to a cooling water source, and the cooling water interface 1-2 of the upper section is externally connected to a cooling water recovery pool.

[0023] Furthermore, the cooling water source is softened water.

[0024] Furthermore, the materials of the various components of the cooling pipe 1 are all stainless steel; the cooling water interface 1-2, the cooling water pipe 1-3, the inner pipe 1-4 and the outer pipe 1-5 are connected by welding; during the welding process, it is required to ensure that the inner pipe 1-4 and the outer pipe 1-5 are coaxial with the central axis to ensure the radial uniformity of the cooling water channel.

[0025] Furthermore, the inner diameter d of the inner tube 1-4 ranges from 3mm to 5mm, the width of the isolation gap ranges from 2mm to 3mm, and the length L of the tube body ranges from 150d to 200d.

[0026] Furthermore, the high-voltage insulating hose 2 is the weak link of the measuring device. If there is a gas leak, high-temperature gas will flow out, causing damage to surrounding equipment and personnel; if the insulation is not enough, the high voltage will affect the sensor and the data acquisition system, resulting in inaccurate pressure measurement data, and even damage to the sensor and the data acquisition system; Figure 3 As shown, the main body of the high-voltage insulating hose 2 is an insulating hose body 2-2, and connectors 2-1 are respectively provided at both ends of the insulating hose body 2-2, the upper connector 2-1 is connected to the cooling pipe 1, and the lower connector 2-1 is connected to the solid-liquid separator 3; The technical indicators of high voltage insulating hose 2 are as follows: Burst pressure: ≥3 times the design pressure; Insulation level: ≥30 kV / m; Length: ≥1m; Leakage current: ≤50uA; Temperature resistance: not less than 500K.

[0027] Furthermore, the material of the connector 2-1 is stainless steel; when the gas in the stable section reaches the connector 2-1, the temperature has dropped, but it may still reach about 500K, and the sealing gasket at the connector 2-1 still needs to be made of fluororubber that can withstand high temperatures; the diameter of the insulating hose body 2-2 matches the inner diameter d of the inner tube 1-4 of the cooling tube 1.

[0028] Furthermore, if Figure 4a , Figure 4b As shown, the solid-liquid separator 3 comprises an air inlet pipe 3-1, a separation cylinder 3-2, a pressure measuring tube 3-3 and a sealing head 3-4; at the upper end of the separation cylinder 3-2, the air inlet pipe 3-1 and the pressure measuring tube 3-3 of equal length are sealed and inserted, the height of the air inlet pipe 3-1 is lower than the pressure measuring tube 3-3, and the upper end of the air inlet pipe 3-1 is connected to the high-voltage insulating hose 2; the lower end of the separation cylinder 3-2 is provided with a sealing head 3-4; The lower section of the inner cavity of the separation cylinder 3-2 is the separation area 3-2-1; a number of dust-proof nets 3-2-2 are arranged in sequence from bottom to top between the upper section of the inner cavity of the separation cylinder 3-2, the lower end of the air inlet pipe 3-1 and the lower end of the pressure measuring tube 3-3; the space between the upper surface of the uppermost dust-proof net 3-2-2 and the lower end of the pressure measuring tube 3-3 is the clean area 3-2-3; the sensor is installed at the top of the pressure measuring tube 3-3, and the pressure sensing port of the sensor senses the airflow pressure downward.

[0029] Furthermore, the separation cylinder 3-2 is installed vertically, and the diameter of the separation cylinder 3-2 is 3 to 5 times the diameter of the air inlet pipe 3-1. The separation cylinder 3-2 is used to separate the liquid droplets and solid particles in the air flow, ensuring that the gas at the sensor inlet at the top of the pressure measuring tube 3-3 is pure and free of impurities; the air flow with impurities passes through the air inlet pipe 3-1 and enters the separation area 3-2-1. According to the principle of conservation of mass, the mass of the air flow in the flow remains unchanged, and the flow rate , due to the increase in air volume and density Basically unchanged, the channel area of ​​the separation cylinder 3-2 Compared with the case where the passage area of ​​the intake pipe 3-1 is increased, the flow rate The pushing effect of the airflow on the impurities is reduced, and the impurities are precipitated under the action of their own gravity and fall into the separation area 3-2-1; the airflow is filtered through the dustproof net 3-2-2 and enters the clean area 3-2-3. The sensor senses the total pressure through the pressure measuring tube 3-3. Since the pressure measuring tube 3-3 is in the clean area 3-2-3, it will not be blocked or contaminated, thereby improving the test accuracy of the total pressure in the stable section of the arc heating wind tunnel.

[0030] Furthermore, the head 3-4 is a sealed and detachable head 3-4.

[0031] When a lot of impurities accumulate in the separation cylinder 3-2, the head 3-4 can be removed for cleaning. When installing it again, pay attention to sealing the head 3-4 to avoid air leakage.

[0032] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been disclosed above, they are not limited to the applications listed in the description and the embodiments, and can be fully applied to various fields suitable for the present invention. For those familiar with the art, additional improvements and modifications can be easily realized without departing from the principles of the present invention. Therefore, without departing from the general concept defined by the claims and equivalent scope, the present invention is not limited to the specific details and the illustrations shown and described here.
